NATURAL GAS AND EARTH
OUAKES.


Prof DAVID SWING has been pulling
his head over the possibilities Of natural
gas, and has come to the conclusion that
the great comforts and conyeniences to be
derived from the mysterious fuel may have
n sad finale for somebody. lie says,
among many other things:
Earth follows her own within, and gen
erllly fills up vacuum by settling down
propDrtionately. At New Madrid. in 1911,
a district OF land hundred miles long
settled down i'm order to I'LL up some va
Cancy made by some old or new bore
and some parts Of the Texan coast have
sunk now within few years for the pur-
pose OF filling in what quantity somebody
or something drew out. What must we
expect now when every man in Indiana
and Ohio is going about with n drill with
the full intent of letting out some more
OF the gas that fills our big balloon?
The Earth will now rapidly shrink. II
il should do so uniformly, no harm would
be done, for Earth diminished by five
miles in diameter would be none the
worse for that; but we are sorry to remark
that our ball has had the bad habit Of
going down in some one place ut one time.
If Indiana aud this general region should
sink Just q little, the lakes would rush
into the homes of all these Jolly gas
bOrerS; the St. Lawrence wOuld pass to-
ward me Gulf of Mexico over the places
where Toledo and Findlay are now dane
ing in such glee.
But it is not likely that any one will
quit burning natural gas on this account,
nor is it likely that man who has flow
ing gas we'll will forthwith proceed to plug
it up earthquake or no earthquake, Prof.
SWING or no Prof. SWING. Some one
has computed that the heat Of the sun can
not possibly hold out for more than 10,
900, 200 years longer, Yet the people
Of this generation are not
much wrought up over the announcement,
and plod on a. if 1898, 999 years of sun
would be enough for all practical pur-
poses. Another scientist has announced
that the water on this terrestrial sphere
would fail long before the suns rays. Yet
temperance people are not disturbed, and
are more inclined to drink water than
ever before, if we are to Judge from the
Prohibition movement; nor are anthem
perance people disturbed, because when
the water is all gone, there will be no
discussion as to the policy of taking some
thing stronger.
So man will continue to follow the adj
vice of an alleged poet who said:
Learn 70 labor" at the gas well,
And to wait for the final result

 here on Saturday afternoon, # Is aist
 learned that traffic on the western pAr' of the road has been suspended, owing to an accident caused by burnt bridge near The Needles, .n which the fireman and engineer were killed.
 The widest rumors prevailed at trsi yesterday in regard to the rumored acci' dent on Saturday night-
 On the arrival of to-day's train 1t was ascertained from D. Levy that bridge
 had been burned, but was fortunately
 discovered by a sheepherder Tn time to
 give the alarm and prevent what might
 have been a serious accident. The pas
 senger train was an hour late, and had
 it been on time the result might have
 been all that was rumored, as the con- dition of the bridge was not discovered
 until after the time it was due. It was
 what might have happened and what actually occurred that was reported, as happily no accident occurred and no one was hurt.

1atss of increase in Stock.

The figures connected with the in- crease of the various kinds of live stock in this country in the last twelve years, are both interesting and suggestive. In milch COWS, the growth has been 3l per cent: in cattle of all kinds, g Der cent ; in sheep, 244 per cent; in hogs, nearly 73a per cent; in all the varities of stock nearly 53a per cent. The increase of beef cattle therefore exceeds by a very considerable margin the growth of any other kind of stock in that time. The number of cattle in the country now, however, is larger than ever before, while both sheep and swine have fallen ofl from recent years. In the first nine years of the twelve in question, sheep in- creased nearly Al per cent, and in the
 succeeding three years have been declin ing in numbers. Hogs reached the highest total last year, the increase IT the eleven years having been trht over 79 per cent.-The National Stock man
